INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function can help to determine whether the air fuel ratio sensor, heated oxygen sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.

The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation using the intelligent tester.


  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

  3. Put the engine in inspection mode Click here.

  4. Start the engine.

  5. Warm up the engine at 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.

  7. Perform Active Test operation with the engine idling (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).

  8. Monitor the output voltages of the air fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors (AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2) displayed on the tester.

Tech Tips


  • The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.


  • Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.

Note

The air fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

Tech Tips


  • Refer to "Data List / Active Test"[ AFS Voltage B1S1] Click here.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  • Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.

  • Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the air fuel ratio sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      D24-4 (A1A-) - D28-126 (A1A-) Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D24-1 (HA1A) or D28-18 (HA1A) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D24-3 (A1A+) or D28-103 (A1A+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D24-4 (A1A-) or D28-126 (A1A-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the air fuel ratio sensor connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.
